Small little momentary pleasures hold us back. We miss something. Its the pleasure that binds us, not the pain.
The pleasure hungry mind just goes on and on with the same old patterns. I am tired of this now. The mind is very sneaky and sticky. It sneaks out and sticks to something, trying hard to squeeze out some juice from something apparently juicy.It hopelessly fails every single time and yet it goes on and on.
The funniest part is that the mind keeps on fooling itself all the time and yet we are stuck to it, so bothered and feverish in anticipation of a so called pleasant experience!
Vasistha says, "Foolishness invites sorrow. Foolishness is bondage. O holy one! One who is bound thinks he is free in his foolishness! Though all that exists in the three worlds is but the self, to one who is firmly established in foolishness all that is but the expansion of foolishness".
Its high time that I just sit back and laugh..silently.
Love

Jai Gurudev Bhaiya
Very very true, it resonates Bigtime
This is exactly what I am constantly reminding myself for the past some days
Bhaiya but this knowledge alone is not enough!!!
The mind will still remain stuck!!!
Then they say "Surrender"

Lost

beautifulRashmin. and particularly relevant to me as I read the Yoga Vasishta regularly and also allow the mind to "go small" in search of pleasures now and then. It is interesting to watch the tail of pain follow the head of pleasure.
Jai Guru Dev,
